Yemen Army officer shot dead
(MENAFN- Arab News) ADEN: An unidentified gunmen shot dead an army officer in south Yemen Tuesday in the latest attack on military personal in the impoverished violence-wracked country a security official said.
Capt. Shaeq Mohammed Shaeq was shot with an assault rifle from a motorcycle carrying two men in Aden's Al-Qahera neighborhood the official said.
The attack comes a day after two soldiers were killed and 11 wounded in a failed attempt to assassinate the commander of the First Military Region Gen. Abdulrahman Al-Hulaili in southeastern Hadramawt province.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed Monday's bomb attack on the general's convoy and said it had killed an intelligence officer in a separate incident.
On Sunday a similar bombing targeted the commander of the 31st Armored Battalion General Farej Al-Atiqi in the southern city of Aden.
Atiqi escaped unharmed but his driver was killed and two bodyguards were wounded.
Security forces are often the targets of attacks blamed on AQAP which the United States regards as the global extremist network's deadliest branch.
